We’re entering the season of pumpkin-flavored everything and spooky home decorations! We’ll also start to see dropping temperatures here in Florida. Which means the perfect time to get a new roof is now!
If you need a roof replacement, taking care of it right now is ideal – and here are three reasons why!
Roofing shingles will respond better.
Roofing shingles need the climate to be ideally above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for the airtight adhesive to seal. Once it gets too cold, you risk compromising that seal and the waterproofing quality of the shingle. If it rains or snows, you could risk serious water damage. Depending on how severe a winter we get, fall could be your last chance to make the repairs or replacements you need. Waiting for spring to make these could compromise the integrity of your home!
You have damage from summer heat and weather events.
The summer sun and hail storms can wreak havoc on your roof, especially if it’s over 15 years old. Hail displaces the protective granules on your shingles, eventually comprising their ability to protect your home from rain and snow. The sun can crack and warp your older shingles, having a similar effect. If you have this kind of damage, your best option is to take care of it now, before it turns into costly, winter emergency repairs.

Save on heating.
Is your home uncomfortable no matter how high you turn the heat? Is your electric bill sky high in the winter? Your warm air could be escaping through your roof!
Old or damaged roofing materials and insulation could be letting your heat escape. A new roof will be up to code, energy-efficient, and will prevent the cold outside air from coming into your home.
